Netopia D3232 IDSL - Manual (Page 93)

Utilities and Diagnostics 9-93
Status: The current status of the Ping test. This item can display the status messages shown in the table
below:
Packets Out: The number of packets sent by the Ping test.
Packets In: The number of return packets received from the target host. To be considered “on time,” return
packets are expected back before the next packet in the sequence of Ping packets is sent. A count of the
number of late packets appears in parentheses to the right of the Packets In count.
In the example that follows, a Netopia D-Series is sending Ping packets to another host, which responds with
return Ping packets. Note that the second return Ping packet is considered to be late because it is not received
by the Netopia D-Series before the third Ping packet is sent. The first and third return Ping packets are on time.
